Belmont CountyThese data describe common types of violence perpetrated by family members or caregivers in our county each year. We presentthe best available, most recent estimates. Nonetheless, our figures are conservative and represent only part of the burden familyviolence places on our families and communities. All figures are estimates or annual averages.Each year in our county… adults are physically abused seniors in the community are 180 – 280 children are abused or neglected 550 – 720 by a current or former 680 – 870 abused, neglected or intimate partner financially exploited reports of abuse or seniors in LTC facilities are 325 neglect are filed with n/a people are arrested for intimate partner violence 50 – 100 abused, neglected or children’s services financially exploited reports of abuse, neglect or 87 children are placed in custody 35 people file petitions for civil protection orders 79 exploitation are filed for seniors in the community adults seek shelter in reports of abuse, neglect or 36 domestic violence shelters in 18 exploitation are filed for the county seniors in LTC facilities • It is difficult to measure the true prevalence of family violence; many victims never come to the attention of authorities. • Reports to local children’s service agencies typically exceed the estimated number of abused or neglected children. This is likely due to multiple reports filed for a single child. Also, many children are placed in custody for reasons other than abuse or neglect (e.g., delinquency). • n/a = figure not available because of missing data. • Elder abuse/neglect figures exclude self-neglect and victims <60 years old. (LTC = long term care) This profile is part of an 88-county series provided by the Ohio Family Violence Prevention Project – a collaborative project of the Health Policy Institute of Ohio and the Ohio State University College of Public Health with support from the HealthPath Foundation of Ohio.
